BEIJING, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Marouane Fellaini and Dai Wai Tsun each scored twice as Shenzhen and Shandong Taishan drew 2-2 in the Chinese Super League here on Friday, while Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Guangzhou City drew 0-0.

Fellaini broke the deadlock for Shandong in the 29th minute, as the Belgian fired home after receiving Liu Binbin's header to give Shandong the lead at half-time.

Dai Wai Tsun equalized for Shenzhen at the very beginning of the second half, but Shandong retook the lead five minutes later through Fellaini's penalty. However, Dai then scored his second of the game, after he collected Gao Lin's pass and his shot squirmed through Wang Dalei's fingers.

After the 2-2 draw, Shandong now top the league table with 11 points after five matches with three victories and two draws.

"It's fair to get one point as both our teams have some important players missing, but it's also a part of football. It feels good to top the table, but the following rounds are very important," said Fellaini after the game.

In the day's other game between Guangzhou City and Cangzhou, players from both teams tried their best to break the deadlock, but none managed to hit the back of the net.

Guangzhou City striker Tiago Leonco's shot hit the woodwork in the 34th minute, and the Brazilian striker missed several other opportunities. After the goalless draw, Cangzhou remain winless after five games.

Qingdao will play Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic on Saturday, while the match between Henan Songshan Longmen and Guangzhou has been postponed. Enditem
